Erika & Skylar Visit - Wednesday

Erika and Skylar - our good friends and partners-in-crime from Mumbai - came to visit for a couple of days (they are back in the US for a month of home leave). Skylar is 3 1/2, almost 2 years older than Luis. When we were in Mumbai together, the difference was staggering. Skylar could walk and talk and feed herself; all things that eluded Luis. Now, they seem much closer in age, and were much better playmates.


Erika and Skylar arrived Wednesday morning, while Luis was at school. It was, in fact nice, to be able to bring them home and get them settled in while Luis was out. In the afternoon, we all went out to the backyard to enjoy the beautiful weather we were having -blue skies and low 70's! It didn't take long for our New Friends across the street to join us - Miller (5), Bennet (3) and Campbell (1.5). I loved having so many kids over to play (as did Luis), but it was a bit dizzying to see so many little people running, climbing, swinging and playing ball.
